I have recently confessed that I’m only 10 years old so..just letting you know-but I’m scared for puberty and getting a period, so recently there has been hair on my private parts (not my breast or nipple, just the pee part) and I don’t know what that means but I think it has something to do with..

Also, i read this book about a girl who got her period in the middle of gym class, so what if my period happens at a weird time, what if I don’t have supplies? What supplies do I need? Pads? Tampons?

Also-will it be embarrassing for me to ask questions or talk about periods and puberty with my parents? Do periods hurt? How long does a period last? How many do women have in a lifetime?

What about bras? Is that a period or puberty thing? I have a shelf bra though. Why do I need one? What will it do? I’m scared, I heard that you bleed in ur period and u have to change clothes.

There are also these things called period cramps, what r those? Please help me by answering my questions, I’m scared.

It won't be embarrassing  if you ask your parents about it, but ask your mom. Cause dads do know about periods but not as much as moms do. Periods do sometimes hurt but that is only cramps and there is pills to help that I don't know the name though. A period NORMALLY lasts about 5 to 6 days. And you have a period every month, around the same time you had your last one. And if you have a phone then there is a app called "Health" and then you have to ask you mom but there is a place where you track your periods. And it normally gives you a notification about if your period will start in the next few weeks. But when you do start your period get a little bag and put a handful of pads in the bag and take them to school. To not get made fun of get your jacket and when you are going to change the pads out put the clean pad in your jacket sleeve and go to the bathroom and do everything you need to do. And when you are on your period wear dark shorts, jeans, and underwear. So it doesn't show through. And don't be scared, I was pretty shocked when mine started last year, but my mom told me what to do. So if you do start bleeding around your pee area tell your mom right away.

To answer that question about the hair on your *private part* it happens when you get older because I'm 9 and I have hair their. And your period ends at 50 years old  you only bleed at your lower part every time for a month you should also get tampons their more smaller and easier to put places and their more comfortable. Period cramps are just normal cramps.

please don't be scared! A period cramp is a cramp on your period week, sometimes they hurt a little, but it's enough to make you cry, SOMETIMES, MIND YOU!!! I hope you aren't afraid to ask a parent or teacher when it starts. I wore two undees when i just started, and it helped in many situations. And if it starts at a weird time, don't be scared. Mine started at night and i was scared i had just got cancer. XD. As -Minecraftnerd- has said, if it starts at school, ask the nearest female adult or friend who knows about it or is on it if you can borrow something. (like a pad.)

Don't be scared of puberty. It may seem hard at first, but woman all over the world have gone through it since the begining of sin.

I haven’t gotten my period yet XD, but I can help with a few of your questions, even though I am a few months late.

1- There’s nothing to be scared of. Puberty happens to everyone and it is a part of life. Don’t let it get you down. Every girl goes through this kind of stuff- scratch that, every person. Even boys do too. Even I get hair down there and my pits look like a jungle XD. This might mean your period is going to arrive in about a year or so.

2- This is a common horror for girls. But just know, every girl has got go through this. So even if you are stuck in this time, just talk to a female, like a teacher, but if there aren’t any present, just excuse yourself to the restroom. Speaking of, when you get symptoms like breast buds, discharge, and acne, you might want to carry around supplies and an extra pair of pants or underwear. Your first period probably won’t exude that much blood, but carry around spare underwear just in case. I recommend you carry pants when you’re familiar with your period.

3- Never feel embarrassed of your changing body. One person it is crucial to talk about to is your mom. Your mom goes through this, so just casually bring up your worries, and I bet she’ll help. Periods don’t hurt themselves, but you can get cramps, but things like ginger ale and a hot pack over your belly can help. They usually happen for a week, but it can be longer or shorter. For how many a woman has in a lifetime, it depends on when she got it, but she’ll probably have it for at least 10 years more or less. Then they reach menopause, where they stop having periods.

4- Bras for me is more of a puberty thing. For girls, when you get breast buds, it’s a sign of puberty. Bras help to keep the breast from sagging. When they grow, women and girls often need them. You only need to change clothes on your period when you leak, which is when the blood seeps through your protection.

Advice on protection- I would rather use pads, because tampons can be uncomfortable at first. Also, if you’re ready, you can use menstrual cups, which you insert down there. These collect the blood, and can be used for a long time. Also, if you’re using pads and tampons, change them every 2-3 hours, and if you don’t do this, you'll get TSS, Toxic Shock Syndrome. This is painful and can lead many other disorders.

Hi! I'm not a girl inherently but I am an assigned female person at birth, so these things do happen to me.

I'm 13, so I have a bit of experience with these things, first off  there's nothing to worry about with the hair! It's just a bit of growing up, as you're only 10 and no breasts yet you won't need to worry about your period for some time to come. However, the basic premise of a period is your uterus (the place where a baby would grow) makes a lining once a month, and since there's not a baby there, you have to shed it through a period! It can be scary, and depending on the person you can get cramps, though not normally on the first couple times. No need to worry about it being heavy your first time, and I would always start with pads.

 Personally, my cramps are terrible plus dysphoria just makes me want to curl up in a ball in my bed, which i normally do. My periods last about a week, but I've been told that's a long time, so anywhere from like 4 days to a week.

As for bras- that's a  puberty thing. It just means your breasts are growing. There are lots of kinds of bras, like training bras, cup bras, and sports bras, but those are more for when your breasts begin to develop. Sports bras are my personal favorite as they make my chest a lot smaller, since I'm not allowed to get a binder haha

I suggest you keep pads in your backpack, just in case. Ask the teacher to use the restroom, then go to the nurse’s office. Also, ask your mom. Bras are a puberty thing. You need one in order to conceal your breasts.
